Chapter 356 Continue to talk about Fahai
In the deep winter, on the warm kang, Zen Master Lingyou said to Fahai: "Fahai! Your cultivation has become more and more mastery, and I am very pleased to be a master. Now I have nothing to teach you, but in the future You have to walk the road yourself. You must know that there is a heaven outside the sky. You must not be arrogant and look down on others. As the saying goes, reading thousands of books is better than traveling thousands of miles, and traveling thousands of miles is better than reading countless people. I think you are still traveling around and contacting more people and things. , there will be something to gain."
Master means to separate from Fahai! This situation is a bit sour. If it were a few years ago, Fahai might have burst into tears and thrown into Master's arms. Now Fahai has already six of them. Only by being pure and dedicated to Buddha will you not cry.
Fahai nodded and replied, "Fahai will listen to Master's teachings."
When traveling far away, I don’t care about it for a day. Fahai originally wanted to spend a few more days with his master and senior brother. However, he became famous and had more trivial matters. Not long after Fahai left the seclusion, his deeds spread, and for a while The monks and lay people inside and outside the temple came to ask in close contact, so I hate it so much.
Zen Master Lingyou was ruthless and said, "Fahai, you can leave now!"
Master is telling people to chase them away, Fahai dares not ignore them!
So Fahai left the temple where he had lived for ten years and embarked on an unknown journey.
Before Fahai left, Master Lingyou gave him six Buddhist holy tools: the Heaven-raising Zen Staff carefully made of Wannian Xuan Iron; the magical sound of the magical cymbals and the golden cymbals fighting each other, which can capture the demons. The sound of the soul makes the demons avoid it. You can throw out and kill the demons, or you can put the demons into the golden cymbals; the saint robes that are invulnerable to swords and guns; the Bodhi tree that is transformed by the Buddha Tathagata during the Zen meditation. The Wuwang Buddhist beads made of fruits; engraved with magical words, which can make monsters appear in the original form of demon-subduing seal; they are invincible, invincible and invincible with Buddha nature, and can also eliminate all kinds of troubles and destroy all kinds of vajras that hinder the practice of the devil, According to legend, it was made by the bones of monks who attained enlightenment in the Three Kingdoms of Ah.
The six Buddhist holy tools given to Fahai by Zen Master Lingyou are the treasures of Weishan Temple, and are one of the rare treasures in the entire Buddhist community. Zen Master Lingyou can give these five treasures to Fahai, which shows his importance to Fahai. Don’t forget that Fahai was only in his early thirties and was very "tender" monk.
Fahai walks along the river and travels through the famous mountains and rivers by the river. Fahai is not as simple as seeing the scenery. Every time he goes to a temple, he will humble monks in the temple recite scriptures and share their insights into Buddhist scriptures. In addition, Fahai also did a lot of good things and subdued many hurtful demons.
Half a year of negligence has passed, and Fahai has slept in the open air and has arrived at Lushan, which is now in Ganzhou Province.
Lushan is a good place. It stands on the plains and has a bit of the meaning of Mount Tai in Lu Province.
There is a small town at the foot of Mount Lu, with a population of thousands. The residents of the town originally lived a prosperous life and did not compete with the world. However, in recent years, a troublesome thing has happened in the town. People often go up the mountain to collect herbs and disappear, feeding domestic animals. There are also losses, or bites to death. The government also inquired about this matter, but no one was found.
The town was panicked and no one dared to go up the mountain to collect herbs. The government also explicitly prohibited it and was not allowed to go up the mountain without permission, otherwise it would be at your own risk of the consequences.
Fahai came to Lushan Town and learned about this.
After all, Fahai has seen the world and thought that there must be monsters on the mountain, and they are not ordinary monsters.
That night, Fahai climbed the mountain alone despite the obstruction of the residents of the town.
Fahai guessed it well. There was indeed a monster on the mountain, a snake spirit with white skin that had been practicing for more than a thousand years.
Above Mount Lu, Fahai and the White Snake had a battle. This battle was shocking the world and the ghosts were sobbing. It was the most difficult battle that Fahai had fought since his debut. In the end, Fahai was injured with the Heavenly Zen Staff and the Demon-Subduing Seal.
White snake.
The white snake knew that the enemy Fahai was not strong, so it occupied and retreated. Finally, it fled into Poyang Lake and into the Yangtze River.
Fahai refused to let go, following the footsteps of the White Snake Spirit, chasing all the way to the current Yangtze River section of Jiangdong City, Jiangdong Province, losing the footsteps of the White Snake Spirit.
The white snake escaped into the forest by the river and hid, no wonder Fahai could not find it.
If the white snake is not removed, Fahai will not be able to sleep or eat. In the mountains where the white snake spirit has entered, Fahai has also settled there. Ren Fahai could not have imagined that his stay will last for a lifetime.
The dense forests, towering hills, and an ancient temple that was dilapidated were particularly conspicuous. Fahai fell to his feet and meditated.
Fahai also later learned that this mountain was called Fushan. The temple where he settled in was called Zexin Temple in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It was once in the prime of incense and hundreds of monks. Among the deserted smoke and weeds in the dense forest, Zen Master Fahai accidentally found it.
The destroyed Buddha.
Fahai was filled with emotion and vowed to re-cultivate the temple and establish the Galan for all living beings.
After that, Fahai opened the mountains and dug fields alone, and worked hard, gradually gaining support from local people and governments.
With the help of the people, the construction of temples accelerated and soon began to take shape.
After the temple was built, according to Fahai's meaning, it was still called Zexin Temple. It was a coincidence that when he was digging a foundation, Zen Master Fahai accidentally dug out a batch of treasures, gold, silver, pearl agate, which was of great value. Fahai
The Zen master did not take the treasure for himself, but handed it over to the local prefect. The prefect was deeply moved and submitted it to the emperor. At that time, Huangdi was Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, a fairly good Huangdi. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was also Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.
Moved, he ordered the treasures to be directly allocated to the temple for support for the court, to build the temple, and the temple was also called Baoshan Zen Temple.
The "treasure" of Baoshan Temple originated from the story of Fahai's "retrieval of treasures". Zen Master Fahai became the first ancestor of Baoshan Temple in a legitimate way.
It is worth mentioning that Baoshan Temple is located in Jiangdong Province, in the jurisdiction of Jiangdong City, somewhere along the river.
At Baoshan Temple, Zen Master Fahai continued to practice Zen and understand Buddhism, and his cultivation was improving day by day.
How many years did Fahai live in history? There is no record in history books. But it is certain that Fahai lived for a long time, three or four hundred years old, until the Song Dynasty, and the Southern Song Dynasty.
Living four hundred years old? Is it possible?
What does it mean to be possible? What does it mean to be impossible? This world is not as simple as we seem. Buddhists generally live long, not to mention that Fahai is a monk who is a god-like figure.
When Fahai was squeezing Zen, what did the white snake spirit go?
The White Snake Spirit was not idle either and went into seclusion to practice. It was not until the Southern Song Dynasty four hundred years later that it came out of seclusion.
Before retreating, the White Snake had more than a thousand years of cultivation, which can be traced back to the Zhou Dynasty. During that time, the White Snake practiced the demonic path and did a lot of harming creatures. This must be admitted, although Bai Suzhen's reputation is now
The image of a good wife and mother may be like a white snake spirit who has gone into seclusion and feels deeply guilty of what he has done before.
